Listen to this article in summarized format
Forex reserves decreased by $4.9 billion to $780.7 billion, after reaching a peak of $785 billion in the previous week. The fall in reserves comes as valuation of gold reserves decreased by $2.6 billion to $111.2 billion, and foreign currency assets decreased by $2.4 billion to $645.7 billion. The decrease in foreign currency assets is likely because the RBI sold dollars in the spot market to prevent the rupee from excess depreciation.
On a net basis, since the start of the FCNR(B) scheme, foreign exchange reserves rose $99 billion to $780 billion as of September 11, from $681 billion as of June 5.
